VNE T304 Stainless Concentric Reducer With Gasket & Pipe Clamp

Description:

The VNE T304 Stainless Concentric Reducer with Gasket and Pipe Clamp is used in sanitary process piping systems to provide a smooth transition between different tubing sizes while maintaining hygienic flow characteristics and quick-disconnect capability. Commonly installed in food processing equipment, breweries, pharmaceutical systems, dairy operations, and beverage production lines requiring corrosion-resistant sanitary connections. Maintenance teams and system integrators use this assembly for process line modifications, equipment installation, piping upgrades, and sanitary system maintenance. VNE clamp fittings are widely used in applications requiring frequent cleaning and disassembly.

Applications:

The VNE T304 concentric reducer assembly is commonly used to reduce line size while maintaining a centered flow path in sanitary processing systems. Typical applications include dairy processing equipment, brewery piping, pharmaceutical production systems, cosmetic manufacturing, water treatment equipment, and clean-in-place (CIP) systems requiring sanitary clamp connections and rapid maintenance access. The included gasket and clamp provide a complete leak-tight sanitary connection assembly suitable for hygienic service environments.
